GCSE Physics exams today

[DebitheScot]

Do any of you have children who were sitting the OCR Physics exam today? Or are any of you physics teachers who saw the paper? What did you think of it?

I am very interested to know what students thought of it. I'm a physics teacher and myself and the other physics teachers at my school are shocked at how hard the papers were (esp the foundation one).

We don't do OCR at GCSE, we use Edexcel.

As it happens some of the foundation papers have been 'tough' in all 3 sciences.

seems really odd that they went to the effort of finding some really weird questions that they won't ever use again as they won't come up in the new gcse.

Oh arse! Was it hard? ds2 said he 'nailed it' and as Physics is his worst subject that probably means he's misunderstood every question lol.

But at least it's all over.
